Yucca and Phormium both produce flowers at times - they are always on a long stem with flowers clustered towards the top half of the stem. The flower stem is longer with a Phormium than that of a Yucca. Without a photo, its not possible to say whether its Yucca or Phormium, but the flower stalk sounds as it should be.

it could well be a yucca or at this time of year i was thinking more Eremurus Foxttail lily. The foliage does come from the soil level and i can see why you might think Yucca.
can you post a photo?
There is a picture of my foxtail lily part way down my blog
